A store-bought lip balm costs around 5 euros for 5-10 g.
This recipe yields about 20 g for far less.
- Organic shea butter: ~5 euros/100 g (20 g = 1 euro).
- Argan oil: ~16 euros/100 ml (20 ml = ~3 euros).
- Vanilla essential oil: ~5 euros/10 ml (a few drops suffice).
Total: ~4 euros for 20 g vs. 5 euros for 10 g in stores—a 60% savings!
